Yeast apple cake with raisins

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Warm up the milk. Put flour in a bowl, make a depression in the middle and crumble the yeast into it. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and 100 ml lukewarm milk and mix with some flour to a pre-dough.

2. 2

   Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile melt butter, let it cool down and mix with the remaining milk. Add the egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar and lemon zest to the pre-dough and knead everything into a smooth yeast dough.

3. 3

   Cover and leave to rise for about 30 minutes. Knead the dough again. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface and place it in a greased springform pan (26 cm Ø) sprinkled with flour.

4. 4

   Cover and let it rest for another 15 minutes. In the meantime wash and drain the raisins. Peel apples, quarter them, remove seeds, cut into slices and sprinkle with lemon juice. Cover dough spirally with apple slices.

5. 5

   Spread almond slivers and raisins evenly on the apples. Mix cinnamon and 4 tablespoons of sugar. Sprinkle over the apples. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 40 minutes.

6. 6

   Take the cake out of the oven, place it on a cake rack and let it cool down. Dust with icing sugar. Whipped cream tastes good with it.
